First issued by the U.S. government in 1986, silver American Eagles are one of the world’s most popular silver bullion investments.
The silver American Eagle showcases the iconic "Walking Liberty" design, originally featured on the 1916 half-dollar by Adolph Weinman. Revered as one of America's most beautiful coins, the obverse depicts Lady Liberty in motion. The reverse, designed by John Mercanti, features the Great Seal of the United States, showcasing an eagle holding an olive branch and arrows. A thirteen-star pyramid representing the original colonies sits above, while the coin's specifications are inscribed along the edge.
